Breaded Hen killed???

[TennTurkeyHunter]

My son killed a very nice breaded hen. I was wondering if there are any records on hens. The bread on this bird is 7 3/4 long. I know this is rare and I have never seen a breaded hen during turkey season. He got one and I was hoping to find out what the record on something like this would be.

Any help???

I got one a couple of years ago with a 7in beard. Gave it to the owner of the land and when he cleaned it she was full of eggs.

i heard that too but have not seen any proof of it.I doubt it is true.i think someone said it to try to keep people from shooting hens with beards.

I read the other day bearded hens make up 2% of the population.

I have also heard that there is a genetic trait that bearded hens produce multiple bearded gobblers.
No clue if that is accurate or not but I have heard it.


Congrats on the turkey.
I saw one last weekend that had a beard that was 9 or 10 inches long.
